I would like to make this series merge in 2.0 before hard freeze because it would allow a production usage of quorum so it would let me move on the rest of the block filter infrastructure.(throttling as filter, filter insertion and removal etc..)
in v2: Fix typos and spelling mistakes [Eric] Fix alignement [Eric] Remove comments about Fam's new API [Eric] Add a new test to check that the to-replace-node-name is locked as in use during mirroring [Benoît] This patch allow to build a mirror of a block device and replace an arbitrary named node of the graph with the mirror. The obvious first usage is Quorum: with this patch one quand drive-mirror the block device say quorum0 and then bdrv_swap the result in place of a broken quorum file (dead filer for example). The second patch implement drive-mirror tests for this mode. Benoît Canet (2): block: Add node-name and to-replace-node-name arguments to drive-mirror. qemu-iotests: Add TestRepairQuorum to 041 to test drive-mirror node-name mode. block/mirror.c | 51 ++++++++--- blockdev.c | 61 ++++++++++++- hmp.c | 3 +- include/block/block_int.h | 3 + qapi-schema.json | 15 ++- qmp-commands.hx | 9 +- tests/qemu-iotests/041 | 221 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- tests/qemu-iotests/041.out | 4 +- 8 files changed, 337 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.2
